so it's like that then
shocks them awake.
PROFESSOR: What other
kinds of problems
do you have with your
implant besides noise?
SHEILA: I wish it was really
waterproof because if I
go swimming with my buddies
who are not deaf, then
how can I hear them.
But right now, it's
like a computer,
so obviously, I can't
just jump into water.
AUDIENCE: I was going to ask
who taught you sign language.
SHEILA: Do you know
some sign language?
AUDIENCE: A little, but
where did you learn?
SHEILA: [INAUDIBLE] I learned
when I was here at MIT.
That was about
like two years ago,
so I took a class at Harvard.
And then from there, I
met a lot of deaf people
here at MIT and
outside of MIT, so I
was able to be comfortable
in sign language.
I don't know.
I guess it's not
really hard for me
to learn sign
language compared to,
let's say Spanish, because
it's more official.
You don't need to
listen or speak,
so it's really like all
hands and [INAUDIBLE].
So it was pretty natural
for me to pick it up.
And I use sign language on a
daily basis with my boyfriend
or with my friends or whenever
I ASL interpreter for my class.
PROFESSOR: So you often
have an ASL interpreter?
SHEILA: Yeah, not all, but
it depends on the class.
For example, if the class is
math or science lecture based,
like one hour long lecture,
then I use [INAUDIBLE]
like real time
closed captioning.
Someone sit next to me,
and on the computer screen,
I read whatever professor
saying in real time,
and that person
type out everything.
Another class, like more of
